I am still having pain in my right bottom calf leg. I have had land therapy, three cortisone shots, and am now in water therapy. I am slightly better but am still plagued by not being able to stand for more than ten minutes in a shoping line nor walking for more than fifteen minutes before pain in calf returns. I have been seeing my regular orthopedic surgeon who does not recommend surgery due to two discs, L4 and 5 protruding and my stenosis condition. Will continuation of cortisone shots repeated this September compromise the tissues or muscles in my spine do harm? Should I get second opion from neurosurgeon?
